Saratoga Springs, NY

Tonight I witnessed a ufo being chased by a military helicopter at approximately 10:10 EST, near Saratoga Springs, NY. Ufo was traveling NW at high speeds. Daughter witnessed a black shadow like object that was tailing behind and she described it as shaped long and oval like. I did not see this as I went in my house to bring my dogs back inside.

Buffalo, NY

When I was about 13 me and my dad went on a vacation to buffalo new York in a cabin resemblant house that we shared with a few other people he was well aquainted with. On the last night prior to leaving the man who organized the trip called everyone to the front of the house for a ceremony they gathered in a circle and joined hands and he lead us into a chant "ka ra" over and over I frankly didn't believe it and thought it was bull crap but joined in anyways. About a couple minutes in we stopped and one man pointed at the tree line and said "look!" I saw it for what felt like a second but there it was motionless, soundless it had no doors windows or lights and the exterior was so shiny and metallic you could see a couple lights left on in the house refecting off of it. But in seconds it shot off into the sky at supernatural speeds leaving no sound or even breeze and you could see it shrinking as it got further and further. Also the next day everyone there reported waking up in a cold sweat. Description: the size of about two average sized cars placed side by side. The front was large and got smaller towards the back until it reaches a sharp point. It had a fin going across the middle of the craft. It resembled the shape of a water/tear drop

York City (Brooklyn), NY

A round white object (sphere) zoomed quickly in the sky, then stayed stationary in one spot. Object then simply faded away.(?) I have no explanation for how it just disappeared but it happened before my eyes. This happened over the BQE while riding on public transportation.

New York City (Brooklyn), NY

Brilliant thin line shaped light in the distance, seen clearly on sunny day traversing slowly south to north in the vicinity of Brooklyn/Queens - size not determinable. Plenty of commercial air traffic in normal patterns operating throughout the area. Recorded short video of sighting on Android phone. After visual contact was lost behind building regained visual later and saw craft blink in and out of existence several times before contact was lost.

Spencerport, NY

I was up with my dog at 4:00a.m. and saw a small (pea-sized) blinking, white light outside my window. I was outside when I first saw it, and it was about 12 inches from my head. It was a very bright, white, blinking light. I went inside and watched it for several minutes. There was no beam and it was not a laser. It was stationary for several minutes, and then it slowly moved across the window. I ran and got a flashlight, and when I came back, it was gone. It did not make any sound. It was not an insect, and it was not a drone. It wasn’t a sold object. It was just a bright, white light. I am a 72 year old woman with all of my faculties. I rarely drink, and had not been drinking the night before this happened. I’ve never taken any illegal drugs and am not on any narcotics of any kind. I am a former school teacher. I’m a wife, mother, and grandmother. I’ve never witnessed anything like this before, but I am positive this is what I saw.

Barret beach fire lsland NY, NY

Saw a bright Circular yellow/green light about the size of a softball flying in no pattern almost zip zagging high in the sky. It got larger and smaller as it seemed to get closer and further away. i was on a boat with myself and another person and we both saw it. It blinked 3 times and then vanished into thin air. At the time there were no other people in sight or boats. It was at approximately4:17am on 6/19/21 at Barrett Beach fire island NY.

I held my thumb up to it and it was larger that my thumb nail at aprox. Cloud level moved much faster than a plane across the sky. I was on the tele phone with a friend when I witnessed the object. No sound was emitted from object.

Romulus, NY

Saw to different circular objects. The first one was seen flying below several planes, but there was no visible propulsion or wings to the craft. That lasted for roughly two minutes before disappearing. The second one was about three minutes after. Again, it was also located below the flying planes. No sound could be heard, no visible propulsion yet again, and no wings. Lasted for roughly two minutes, about the same as the last time before also disappearing as well. Could've been a drone, but I don't think it was below 400 feet.

New York Ciity (Brooklyn), NY

Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY - May 16th around 7.30 pm My girlfriend and I were hanging on our building's rooftop, our little dog running around. It was a cloudy and windy day. I noticed in the sky, maybe a mile away up, a black shape floating. At first, I did not pay attention, thinking it might be a black plastic bag, or a drone. But as we kept talking, maybe 30 mn after noticing the shape, I realized that it did not move, or at least barely. My gf confirmed that she has not seen it move. And by move, i mean moving up or down, left or right. It was static or moving very slowly, like hovering. I decided to grab my camera and zoom in, hoping to confirm it was a plastic bag or a drone. But the video got me confused: we see a static black shape that is constantly changing its shape (boomerand shape, round shape, and a similar shape that we see in one of the recently released video from the goverment). The thing that confuses me is: when I zoomed in, I noticed some kinda of "pulse" from that shape (you can see it on the video) that even got the camera unstable for a second (kind of like energy released around). You can even see a halo around the changing shape. The shape then kept hovering above Williamsburg, moving very slowly from left, going back to right, before disappearing up in the clouds. I am not saying it is a UFO. But I would assume tht an empty plastic bag, given the altitude and the wind that day, would have followed a different and unpredictable path. That thing, whatever it was, was rotating on itself, and not following winds at all. I will be attaching the 2 videos taken - I apologize for the quality. Best, Sofiane

Staten Island, NY

While at my hotel in Houston, TX I called my wife to greet her via Video call on Facebook Messenger. When she answered the call, she was outside in the backyard of our house in Staten Island, NY and told me that her and 3 of my children had just seen 3 UFO'S flying over our house and she was filming them. I asked her to send me the video and what I saw blew me away. The first section of the video my wife filmed through our living room window in which it shows 2 bright orange/yellow orbs steadily moving over the house. Once the orbs were out of view, my wife paused the video and went outside to the backyard to continue filming them. The video then switches to an outside view of the sky above our home and this time, 3 orange/yellow orbs could be seen. What really blew me away was that as soon as the 3 orbs came into view, one of the orbs on the far right sped up as if to catch up with the other 2 orbs. And then once a triangle formation was formed between them! , the orb on the right slowed down and the orbs then continued to move steadily in a formation away from our home. I uploaded the video to my YouTube channel which can be seen here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=adLCH7L9Zk0

Cornwall, NY

Was with my partner at around 9:10pm looking south at the stars in our backyard. I then saw very far away what I thought was a shooting star begin to move rapidly in a way that a craft/star would not be able to move. It was a circular object in the night sky. It moved very rapidly up in the sky, stopping then moving up again very quickly, shot to the left, then went down, then disappeared. This occurred within 10 seconds.

Far Rockaway (Queens), NY

On June 5th, 2021 at 4:58PM, as I was looking out my kitchen window, I watched as a slow-moving object left a trail of smoke straight up, as it went up. It was moving slow enough for me to have time to run and get my cellphone to record as it cleared the top of the buildings and arced to the right. It seemed to pick up speed until it was moving so fast, it was difficult to keep the camera focused on it.

Brooklyn, NY

The encounter took place back on June 4th, 2021. My family had a barbecue outside, and I decided to walk to Sunset View Park by myself. We live two blocks away from the park. I made the mistake of not bringing my phone with me because I wanted to rest my eyes after spending all day staring at the screen. So I spent my time admiring the sunset. The sunset was a vibrant mixture of orange and pink. Tinted with a cool shade of blue. There weren't that many people in the park. It was just me, an old lady, and a few others in the distance. I appeared to be the only person looking up into the sky at that moment because everyone else seemed busy with their own devices. Eventually, I reached the end of the park, where there was a large grassy field and a triangular pink house at the end. That's when I suddenly came into contact with it. As I was walking, I saw something fly from behind me. My immediate reaction was annoyance because we had people in my community who would launch their drones around the park. And I got annoyed because I thought I was being filmed. But it didn't fly any further. The second I turned around, that's when I saw it. The UFO was staring directly at me, hovering a shy five feet above me. The length of your average basketball hoop at the park. The pink house was behind us. I immediately froze when I realized that this was not a drone. I was staring at something from outer space. And I was mesmerized. The UFO was facing me from the bottom. Where a wheel of glowing white lights (6-8) spun rapidly like a casino wheel, it appeared to look like some flat tea plate. It had a flat hollow center, surrounded by a ring of turning lights. The disk itself was the size of a sun hat, and it was a darker shade of silver. The metal appeared dense where not much light could reflect on it. There was a hint of orange, pink, and blue from the sunset bouncing off its surface. But it was very faint, muddled like a smudged mirror covered up in metallic coating. I could tell that it was staring right back at me. The staring lasted for a solid three minutes. It continued to hover a few feet above me like a temporary stalemate. It's like it was waiting for me to do something. I wasn't as freaked out as I should've been, even though the situation could've easily turned dangerous. I oddly felt at peace with its presence, then out of where it decided to take off at the speed of light, leaving behind a motion blur of green. The same way jet engines take off with a motion blur. Since I was in close proximity to it, the details of the UFO are burned deeply into my mind. I remembered how the green light surrounded the outer ring of each white light and how it highlighted the shape of the UFO for a few quick seconds before it took off with a strobe of green. What shocked me the most was how it left no noise behind or any traces of wind. It took off like a silent race car. The green motion blur quickly faded away. And I was left speechless. I kept staring at this spot for another few minutes before coming back to my senses. I couldn't believe that I had the opportunity to see a real-life UFO. Most people aren't even sure if UFOS exist or not, and my experience confirmed that they do exist and that they're out there. If I didn't spend my time looking up at the sky and the sunset, I would've missed it. On my way home, I realized that the possibilities were endless. If UFOS exist, a lot of other things could exist as well. It also made me feel inferior; our technology isn't as advanced as the UFO I had seen. I realized how behind we are as a civilization. We still have a long way to go before we can create something similar. I tried explaining what I saw to my family, but they couldn't grasp what I had seen. Yes, they believe in the possibility of life in the universe, but they continued to deny it and assumed that I must've seen something else. I reached out to my friends who mentioned seeing UFOS before, and they understood me better and shared their past experiences. Except their experiences were different. They saw UFOS high above in the sky. I saw one up close. If I had jumped towards it, I could've easily grabbed it. They didn't get to have the same good look at their UFOS as I did. And it's hard to find someone who relates to me on this level. Since then, I've begun to pay more attention to the sky. And I ended up seeing more ufos in the distance. It's as if my encounters doubled after seeing one of them up close. More UFO sightings happened that same summer. I've seen more strange things. When I was on the balcony with my mother, I saw a flaming orb bouncing from our neighbor's rooftops; it looked like a small glowing sun. It happened so quickly as if it jumped like a skipping stone. I'm not sure what it was trying to do. Or what it was searching for in my community. And finally, my last encounter was when I saw a camouflaged triangle-shaped UFO in the night sky. There were stars out that night. But what struck me as odd was how it slowly appeared to tilt back in forth like a scale. It looked like a surfboard trying to balance itself. There were three white lights on each angle and a faint red light toward the front of the center. A year after that, I continued to see things occasionally, but I couldn't confirm whether they were ufos or not. I noticed that the last three were more visible to me, and I can confidently say that I have seen three different types of UFOS during the summer of 2021. My only wish is to understand their purpose; I wish I knew why they were hovering above my community for quite some time and why I was the person who happened to see all of them over the span of two months. I envy our government because they know much more about UFOS than the public, but it's probably for a good reason.

New Rochelle, NY

Went outside for a short walk which I usually do around the same time each night, looked up and at about 1 O'clock position in the night sky clear as can be was an lit object with bright blinking lites that went from clear bright white to a ruby red color (but mostly white). I was able to use my phone to video it but the video does not do it justice in it's appearance, it was much clearer seeing it live. The thing that impressed me most was it's ability to be so still in the sky like it was just pinned up there in the sky pretty amazing. And when it did move it did so in that typical UFO zig zag motion. I called some news agencies but none of them took it serious enough I suppose but I also posted the video using my brothers youtube account. I used his account for a few reasons but the main one was because earlier that day (God's honest truth) I had visited his grave sight he passed in 2017. Not sure what that has to do with the sighting but that's how it ha! ppened. here's the link to the video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e1zjLnry1k&t=41s

Me and my brother were sitting in the hot tub in the early morning hours when he pointed out this very bright light that traveled fast with no plane navigation lights. It descended very fast and being a pilot myself it was definitely not a plane. It faded out after about a 1 or 2 minutes.

My husband and I were having a fire and small lights seemed to be evenly spaced out. And they just kept coming at the same speed for 5-10 mins. I did get a short video as well. At first I thought it was a couple of planes flying too close, but it was not!

Saw a very small stationary light which flashed on and off slowly (almost looked like something was revolving and reflecting light which may have generated a “flash”). Appeared to be farther away than planes flying overhead but did not move for at least 5 minutes

Glens Falls, NY

Walking my dog with my wife near the Hudson River we saw a triangular shaped gray craft. It appeared to suck water up into it for about five minutes then sat about 15 to 25 feet above the ground for 15 minutes. It appeared to be about the size of a single seater plane. My dog was shaking and whining the whole time and that's what made me believe that perhaps this was something strange. I asked my wife if she had her phone and she did take pictures. She hasn't sent them to me yet but when she does I'm loading them onto my computer and sending them to you.

Warwick, NY

I was on my way to work on 5/18/21 at 0400 in Warwick, NY. I saw an unknown object in the sky with blinking lights that was flying extremely slow and appeared lower in the sky than an airplane would be. I couldn’t make out a shape of the object but it was slowly moving west of me than it came slightly back towards me traveling eastbound. It then went south with about four lights blinking from front to back. I pulled over and recorded it on my phone for 1:38. I turned my car off as I was recording to see if I could hear anything and it didn’t make a sound. This is the third time in less than a year that I have seen an object in the sky and they were all in the same place at roughly the same time, between 4:00-4:40am. The first sighting was 7/24/20 at 4:36 am and the second was 5/7/21 at 4:34. I have still photos of the first two sightings but they are blurry and of poor quality. The location of the sightings is Bellvale Rd between Sugar Loaf Mountain Rd & Kin! gs Highway bypass in Warwick, Orange County, NY.
